Abstract

Decision making is one of the most important recurring responsibilities facing managers in organizations. Choices are called for on a regular basis with important consequences. To make a decision, the manager must choose among ways to deal with problems confronting an organization. The choice among these alternatives often makes irrevocable commitments. Once a decision is made, resources have been committed that are seldom recoverable should something go awry (Nutt, 1989, p. xiii).
